Draw back is that they tend to be heavy, bulky and they don't like being moved and the refrigerant is very flammable and under a great deal of pressure.
RV's tend to use absorption refrigeration in their fridges and when something goes wrong with it the common fix is to pull the unit, flip it on to it's top and leave it like that for a day or two, much harder to do that with a car.
